See, I have nice model in blender.  
But when I export with default settings to USD, I do not get any materials:

I would need to see the material graph to answer - but if for example the material is layered then it would not be able to handle the conversion.

There are UMM material templates that would make it work a lot better: [Blender — Omniverse Connect documentation](https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/con_connect/con_connect/blender.html#omniverse-blender-material-templates)
